Ward 8 Recreation Facility Emergency Amendment Act of 2025

This bill exempts District-built recreation centers in Ward 8 with indoor pools or gyms from the standard net zero energy requirements under the Green Building Act of 2006. Instead, it requires that indoor pools at these Ward 8 recreation centers meet at least LEED Silver certification standards. The exemption applies specifically to facilities with indoor pools or gyms in Ward 8, not to other District buildings. As an emergency amendment, it takes effect immediately upon approval but expires after 90 days.
